T assured her tartly that she was all wet. This country has everything to make it a tourist’s paradise: mountains aplenty, great plains, deep forests, thousands of miles of coast line, a million or so lakes, good hotels, inter- esting ‘cities in French and English, and good highways. It’s not that we don’t have enough for the tourist. We have too much, and we take it for granted. Tiny Swit- zerland doesn’t, and it makes use of every inch, milking the tourist as carefully as it milks its cows, those brown ones that graze up the mountains in summer and give , chocolate milk. We have - tremendous sports facilities: skiing, sail- ing, fishing, hunting, hiking, alot of it free or very cheap. Try going skiing or fishing or hunting in Europe, It will cost you an arm and a leg, and in many countries is im- possible for foreigners. We don’t have any ruined abbeys or falling-down castles, but have planty of abandoned log houses, which, in terms of humanity, are just as touching, if not as impressive, : We're a little short on cathedrals, but not on churches. Some of our towns of two or three thousand have as many as ten different churches. You can pray standing up, sitting down, on your knees or flat on your back. You can’t do this in Europe. Weare nationalistic, but in a lackadaisical way, with nothing of the prickly pride of the French, the deja vu Pride of the Italians or the smug complacency of the ‘Swiss or Germans. We have a certain bland- ness, a lack of local color perhaps, to the unobservant eye. But local color often consists of nothing more than rolls so hard you can't eat them, dirty toilets, and execrable wine, in Europe. As local color, try a house For Two For One Night Regular $37.00 bo Ben Bill Smiley party in Newfie, Saturday night in Sudbury, a stroll down Yonge St.'s Strip in Toronto, or amble through> downtown Montreal or Van- couver. Or try Friday night in a beer parlor, anywhere in the country, We don't have many anci- ent ruins, We put them away in nursing homes, But a visit to these could probably be arranged for the tourist. People think we don’t have much history, We do. We have all kinds of it. It's just younger than that of Euro- - Bean countries. But the Battle of Duck Lake, Saskat- chewan, is just as important to this country as the Battle of Waterloo was to Europe in its time. The restoration of Ste. Marie Among the Hurons at Midland, Ontario, the 17th century Jesuit mis- sion, is just as valid as the testoration of the Roman Colosseum, ignored by the Romans for centuries, Furthermore, tor the delectation of the tourists, we have a dollar that is worth 85 cents, That means their yen and marks and francs will stretch like elastic bands, And finally, we have something no other nation in the world can touch, Thanksgiving weekend, and everything that goes with it, The great sad, final flaming of our foliage before we close down for six months. : If our tourist industry wasn't such a weak sister, Canada would be crawling with millions of Japanese and Arabs and Germans and Italians .. from about .

Vassar Carlton, 65, who served on the state Supreme Court from 1968 to 1974, says he is fed up with the insults directed towards him by Don- ald Tucker, 42, “The fight would last until someone gave up,” explained Carlton. “It might be me, but I would at least have the oppor- Judge Punch tunity to hit him in his big, pretty mouth.” The former justice claims that ‘Tucker should make a public apology or else settle the matter in the ring. Carlton wants to charge admission for the bout, with the proceeds going to a worthy charity. “I'm serious about this. I'm tired of being shot at,” he said, “Ltried to reach Tucker for an apology, and he has said, ‘no way," he added. / YOUR STARS THIS WEEK 7 Moves ‘contrary to cus-' tom may be precisely those required for the mak- Ing of exceptional gains in the quickest possible way. This is a week during which the strong of mind win handily over their fel- lows of weaker will and determination.

It may be necessary early in the week to spend more time than usual firm- ing up personal relation- ships.

She wouldn't have dreamt of going anywhere without Jocking the doors, but it never -occurred to her that thieves would be brazen enough to enter while she was still in the yard, In fact, warm summer weather when doors and win- dows are left open provides almost ideal conditions for bur- glars. It may seem silly to lock doors and windows when you're just out in the yard, but any access to the house which is out of your direct view gives thieves an opportunity to help themselves. Precautions against bur- glary and vandalism are par- ticularly important when you go on holiday. Be sure to disconnect lawn or garden hoses and store them Brothers Turn Birthdays Into Battles of Wit Sam Matar gave his broth- er John of Chicago, a 3,800- , Pound “pet rock” for his birth- day last year. This year's gift was a 4,800-pound elephant. John was sitting on the front steps of his south side home when a truck drove up, the doors opened and out came Cathy, an Asiatic elephant and “owners Paul and Dorothy Kelly of Peru, Ind. “I kind of figured it was mine," John said. “She's beauti- ful. What more can I say? Actually, the rock was a little : .. better, I've still got it in my back yard.” It was the latest chapter in an unusual game of one- upmanship between the Matar brothers which started several .-years ago. “We started sending each other insulting birthday cards each year,” said Sam, an auto *+-dealer and nightclub owner in . Monterey, Calif. “Then it began sealating. I'd send about 30 cards, and he'd send 50. Finally cI sent him one that was 7 feet by 3 feet. That ended the cards.” In 1974, Sam hired two : beautiful girls in bikinis to deliver a birthday cake to John ‘at Regenstein Press, where he works. John retaliated by send- ing Sam on his birthday, Feb. 7, three elderly ladies in swim- ming suits to sing “Happy Birthday.” i Sam hired a plane to fly “ over Regenstein Press trailing a sign reading, “Happy Birth- ‘ day John.” Last year, he had the huge rock dumped on 5 « John's front lawn, ° “"* John got a high school * band to march up and down the street outside Sam's agency for half-an-hour this year. “It was chaos,” said Sam. “There was’ a big traffic jam and I decided, ‘I'm gonna fix * you, brother John.’ I figured I'd get him a live pet to play with the pet rock.” John got on top of Cathy for all of 45 seconds before the elephant was led back to the truck and returned to Indiana. Sam couldn't attend the event this year, but said’ he will be there for sure next year. “Just wait till you see what. he’s going to get,” John said. “Just you wait.” What will John get Sam—a whole circus? “You don't think I'm going to tell you, do you? All I'll say is, Sam's going to be sorry.” out of sight. Otherwise, you may return to find them stuck through the letter box with the water turned on. Actually, it's a good idea to shut the water line off at the main when you leave. This will prevent outside taps from being turned on, and will also make it harder for vandals to flood the house, should they break in. The best protection against theft is to ‘prevent tell-tale signs that the house is unoccu- pied. Cancel paper and milk deliveries, and ask somecae to drop in every couple of days to check for problems, If you're going to be away for an extend- ed period, hire someone to cut the grass regularly. The old trick of leaving a light on to make the house look occupied is just that—an old trick. It fools few people nowadays, and __ professional thieves least of all. An auto- matic timer which turns lights, radio or television on and off at pre-set times is better. You can learn more about preventing burglaries andi van- dalism by taking part in the “Neighborhood Watch" pro- gram conducted by RCMP and municipal police departments.
